Waymo's driverless cars were involved in 440 crashes in Los Angeles County, but its reported collision rate fell 41% due to a federal rule change that exempts certain minor crashes from reporting. The new rule excludes incidents with no injuries, no towing, no airbag deployment, and damage under $1,000, mostly affecting cases where Waymo vehicles were stationary and struck by other cars. Despite the drop in reported crashes, the actual number of incidents, especially minor ones, remains high, with many occurring in busy areas like Mid-City and Hollywood. Other companies like Tesla and Amazon are also testing autonomous vehicles in Los Angeles but have not yet launched public driverless rides.
